About Inn at St. John’s

This unique property became a golf resort in 2006 when the former St. John's Provincial Seminary reopened as the Inn at St. John's, a boutique, four-diamond property adjacent to the 27-hole Brae Burn Golf Club. The 118-room inn features Romanesque architecture, two ballrooms with 25-foot ceilings, a two-story atrium and 22 meeting rooms. The more casual Burger Loft complements the fine dining 5ive Steakhouse and Bar. The course, dating to 1923 before a third nine was added in the 1990s, shares its site with Carl's Golfland at St. John's, one of the country's premier golf stores. There's also a covered, heated range at Carl's to bang balls year-round to prepare for your battle with "The Monster" - the nickname for the 666-yard 13th hole, the longest par 5 in the state.

would play often if I lived closer

Simple layout. Very forgiving course. Very receptive, soft greens. Many greens had 3 tiers and the breaks were fun. Tons of un-repaired divots and spike marks unfortunately. Course needs to add maps on the tee markers or scorecards for the blind tee shots.

Unplayable

I’m saying this course is unplayable in good way. Make sure you hit the green in the right spot because if you don’t it’s rolling off. Fast greens/ slopes/ the whole 18.

Aerated greens

Middle of May and the greens are aerated, makes for a bad round and a waste if money. Spend it elsewhere

Brae Burn

Haven't played the course this year & found the course conditions absolutely perfect. Several in our group felt it was the best conditions we've encountered in the last several years. Greens, fairways & rough in extremely playable condition. Can't wait to return

The Worst Course In MI

The most underwhelming course you will ever play and pull up on. Landfill across the street, overgrown practice range and sad looking clubhouse. Staff was rude upon arrival. Not worth the $42. Save your money and find another public course. Par 70 that was playing at four + hour pace. Paid for 18 and wanted to quit at 9 due to frustration of watching groups wait for greens to clear from 250+. Mgmt laughed at me when I asked for 9 holes back after wanting to stop and go home. Very unprofessional staff that must start at the top which is not surprising after seeing the lack in care in the facilities. You can score here but set your expectations low on everything else.

Ok

Nice course layout with interesting greens. There is a garbage dump in the background, visible on certain holes. Cart paths are in extremelly poor condition with potholes everywhere, better to just not drive on it. No ball washers on any holes. Greens are pockmarcked with divots. It is a very pretty course and fun to play but still exudes a feeling of disrepair

fun course

A good course for average golfers in that fairways are generally wide, few traps, but a few "ditches" across the fairway in front of greens

Had not played the course for a long time, but it was in good shape, a little wet in some spots, but certainly not a big bother.
